 We ended the 2018-19 school year with a fabulous Learning Celebration. Here our students in Grade 1 shared their year of learning with the entire school family.
What's Happening at Mount Eagle
June 14, 2019
Thank You for a Great School Year!
As we close out the 2018-19 school year, there are many success to count. Our preliminary SOL results in math, reading & science show that we are fully accredited. This year, we were one of two schools in Virginia to host a Food Corps service member. In addition to teaching lessons and supporting tastings in our cafeteria, Jordan Neri led the expansion of our gardens to include seven raised beds with vegetables. We will continue this program next year with a new service member. Our amazing teachers continued to grow as professionals. Classroom teachers Katie Keier and Melanie Henry completed a year-long intensive training in Reading Recovery, a program designed to support early readers. And, of course, we saw incredible gains with our students. As we reflected on our Problem Solving Assessment in math, we saw more and more students demonstrating flexible thinking as mathematicians. They could "adjust" numbers to make them easier to compute multi-step problems. We saw many students jump several levels in reading as they surpassed a year's growth. A huge factor in that growth is attributed to independent reading, both at school and home. Thank you families for all your support and continuing to be our teaching partners!
